PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate flipper
glass, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and
the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
The system also includes a dual function intru-
sion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion.
The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for
any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery backup
which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 30 seconds and
the exterior lights will flash followed by approxi-
mately five seconds of no activity. This will
continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to
disarm the system.

sive Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob
available in the same exterior zone (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in"Things To Know
Before Starting Your Vehicle" for further infor-
mation). •
Press the LOCK button on the Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
• Once the security system is armed, it
remains in that state until you disarm it by
following either of the disarming proce-
dures described. If a power loss occurs
after arming the system, you must disarm
the system after restoring power to pre-
vent alarm activation.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the secu-
rity system. To do so, press the LOCK
button on the RKE transmitter three times

cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains
armed during power liftgate entry. Press-
ing the liftgate button will not disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the liftgate and opens
any door the alarm will sound.
•
When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the secu-
rity system. To do so, press the LOCK
button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 15 seconds of arming the system
(while the Vehicle Security Light is flash-
ing rapidly). The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If
this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Se-
curity Alarm will remain armed when the battery

•If liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate
travel path is clear. Make sure the liftgate is
closed and latched before driving away.
NOTE:
• The power liftgate buttons will not oper-
ate if the vehicle is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below 22°F (30°C) or tem-
peratures above 150°F (65°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from
the liftgate before pressing any of the
power liftgate switches. •
If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets suffi-
cient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to
the side of the liftgate. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause
the liftgate to return to the open position.
• The power liftgate must be in the full open
position for rear liftgate close button on
the left rear trim, near the liftgate opening
to operate. If the liftgate is not fully open,
press the Liftgate button on the Key Fob
to fully open the liftgate, and then press it
again to close.
• If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will
reverse to the full open position.
•
If the liftgate handle is pulled while the
power liftgate is opening, the liftgate motor
will disengage to allow manual operation.
•If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop and the lift-
gate must be opened or closed manually.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you
put the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will
continue to power close. However, ve-
hicle movement may result in a detection
of an obstruction.
WARNING!
•Driving with the liftgate open can allow
poisonous exhaust gases into your ve-
hicle. You and your passengers could be
injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate
closed when you are operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are
closed, and the climate control blower
switch is set at high speed. Do not use the
recirculation mode.

Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following
air bag system components:
•Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
• Knee Impact Bolster
• Driver Advanced Front Air Bag
• Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag
• Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB)
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains (SABIC)
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
•
Front Seat Belt Pretensioners, Seat Belt
Buckle Switch
Advanced Front Air Bag FeaturesThe Advanced Front Air Bag system has multi-
stage driver and front passenger air bags. This
system provides output appropriate to the se-
verity and type of collision as determined by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which
may receive information from the front impact
sensors.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately
during an impact that requires air bag deploy-
ment. This low output is used in less severe
collisions. A higher energy output is used for
more severe collisions.
WARNING!
• No objects should be placed over or near
the air bag on the instrument panel, be-
cause any such objects could cause harm
if the vehicle is in a collision severe
enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Do not put anything on or around the air
bag covers or attempt to open them manu-
ally. You may damage the air bags and you
could be injured because the air bags may
no longer be functional. The protective
covers for the air bag cushions are de-
signed to open only when the air bags are
inflating.
• Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee
bolster in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee
bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citi-
zen band radios, etc.

Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags (SAB)
Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags
(SAB) may provide enhanced protection to help
protect an occupant during a side impact. The
SAB is marked with an air bag label sewn into
the outboard side of the front seats.
When the air bag deploys, it opens the seam
between the front and side of the seat’s trim
cover. Each air bag deploys independently; a left
side impact deploys the left air bag only and a
right-side impact deploys the right air bag only.
Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtain (SABIC)
SABIC air bags may offer side-impact and ve-
hicle rollover protection to front and rear seat
outboard occupants in addition to that provided
by the body structure. Each air bag features
inflated chambers placed adjacent to the head
of each outboard occupant that reduce the
potential for side-impact head injuries. The
SABIC deploy downward, covering both win-
dows on the impact side.NOTE:
•
Air Bag covers may not be obvious in the
interior trim, but they will open during air
bag deployment.
• Being too close to the SAB and SABIC air
bags during deployment could cause you
to be severely injured or killed.
• Should a vehicle rollover occur, the pre-
tensioners and/or SAB and SABIC air
bags on both sides of the vehicle may
deploy.
The system includes side impact sensors that
are calibrated to deploy the Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags and SABIC air bags
during impacts that require side air bag occu-
pant protection.

WARNING!
•Your vehicle is equipped with left and right
SABIC, do not stack luggage or other
cargo up high enough to block the location
of the SABIC. The area where the side
curtain air bag is located should remain
free from any obstructions.
• Do not use accessory seat covers or place
objects between you and the SAB; the
performance could be adversely affected
and/or objects could be pushed into you,
causing serious injury.
• Your vehicle is equipped with SABIC air
bags, do not have any accessory items
installed which will alter the roof, including
adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not
add roof racks that require permanent at-
tachments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the roof
of the vehicle for any reason. Always sit upright as possible with your back
against the seat back, use the seat belts prop-
erly, and use the appropriate sized child re-
straint, infant restraint or booster seat recom-
mended for the size and weight of the child.
SAB and SABIC air bags are a supplement to
the seat belt restraint system. Occupants, in-
cluding children who are up against or very
close to SAB or SABIC air bags can be seri-
ously injured or killed. Occupants, especially
children, should not lean on or sleep against the
door, side windows, or area where the SAB or
SABIC air bags inflate, even if they are in an
infant or child restraint.
Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
The Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag
provides enhanced protection and works to-
gether with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag
during a frontal impact.
Knee Impact Bolster
The Knee Impact Bolster helps protect the
knees of the front passenger, and position the
front occupant for the best interaction with the
Advanced Front Air Bag. Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Ad-
vanced Front Air Bags work with the Supple-
mental Driver Side Knee Air Bag and the pas-
senger side knee bolster to provide improved
protection for the driver and front passenger.
Side air bags also work with seat belts to
improve occupant protection.
Air Bag Deployment Sensors And
Controls
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
The
ORC is part of a regulated safety system
required for this vehicle.
The ORC determines if deployment of the front
and/or side air bags in a frontal or side collision
is required. Based on the impact sensor’s sig-
nals, a central electronic ORC deploys the
Advanced Front Air Bags, Supplemental Driver
Side Knee Air Bag, Supplemental Side Air Bag
Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), Supplemental Seat-
Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB), and front seat
belt pretensioners, as required, depending on
several factors, including the severity and type
of impact.
